The renovation of the THEODORE building is in line with the desire of AG Real Estate to participate in the enhancement of urban heritage.
This building of 3500 m2, inscribed in a remarkable architectural ensemble which includes the church of the Trinity, was designed in 1864 by the architect Théodore Ballu. It is in his memory that AG Real Estate has named his project THEODORE.

ROCKWOOL cooperated with BPIE and EIT Climate-KIC to produce the report “Upscaling urban regeneration: European frontrunner cases are leading the way”. The report highlights key learnings from successful urban regeneration projects across Europe combined with insights from experts in the field, including:

MAtchUP will deploy large scale demonstration projects in three Lighthouse cities namely, Valencia (Spain), Dresden (Germany) and Antalya (Turkey), and support the development of replication and upscaling plans in four Follower cities namely, Ostend (Belgium), Herzliya (Israel), Skopje (Macedonia) and Kerava (Finland). Led by the City of Valencia, the consortium is composed of 28 partners across 8 different countries, each one contributing through their specific knowledge and expertise to meet the said MAtchUP objectives.

Maximising the effectiveness and wider use of EU Energy Performance Certificates
The challenges around urban retrofit, in particular the ones faced by private dwellers have long been in debate at EU level.
How to foster energy retrofit activities? Can a dwelling energy performance certificate help? How to promote the information in the EPC and support the dweller’s retrofit decision process? What are the barriers hindering a dweller´s decision to adopt energy efficiency retrofit measures?

After nearly two years of collaboration between ten partners from Spain, Croatia, Poland and the Netherlands, the FosterREG project is coming to an end.
FosterREG is a European Horizon 2020 project aimed at enhancing the capacity of public authorities to plan, finance and manage integrated urban regeneration for sustainable energy uptake.

The Zagreb Energy Week, which will be held from 8 to 13 May 2017 in Zagreb, Croatia, presents a complex mosaic of a whole range of activities with the aim of including all generations and stakeholders in a long-term fight against climate change. The event's message “Development we don’t want to stop, but pollution we can!” calls upon joint action in implementing projects for sustainable urban development and the preservation of natural resources for future generations.

After nearly two years of collaboration between ten partners from four countries, the end of FosterREG project is near. The project is funded from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 649846, with the closure date coming up on 31 May, 2017.

This is the second of a series of five webinars for FREE that the MEnS project delivers for its e-learning platform.

Case di Luce is an example of sustainable urban regeneration in a densely urbanized area. The site, located in the town of Bisceglie Italy, was a former industrial site that was not in use. All old building structures were demolished and the area cleaned up in order to give way to innovative energy efficiency constructions. Case di Luce is exactly that. The building features low carbon design which leverages seasonal variations of the solar path in order to optimise the comfort of its tenants.
